Abstract

In this paper, a novel receiver structure is proposed to mitigate the inter-channel interference (ICI) effects that limit the data rate in multi-color visible light communication (MC-VLC) systems. Reconfigurable optical filters (ROFs) are used at the receiver side of MC-VLC systems to enable the separation of color channels. ROFs are optical elements that have the ability to electrically change their transmission spectrum. Utilizing this feature of ROFs, a receiver structure is developed that, unlike traditional receiver structures, can adaptively adjust the transmit spectrum based on channel state information. This adaptive adjustment is aimed at maximizing communication performance by effectively separating color channels in MC-VLC systems. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed receiver structure achieves higher communication performance compared to traditional receivers.
